after 'solving' this problem with the help of others here by putting copies of the bitmap all over the f'ing place it seemed to work well and then ... i opened a schematic today and there was no picture, only the text placeholder
i give up, it just doesn't work IMHO for the record i have copies of the bitmap in: the local directory inside the DDB in the \system directory of protel on all the machines in the \Design Explorer directory in the library folders in the library DDBs probably other places as well so for some X thousand dollars we can hope that DXP will work in this very simple matter Dennis Saputelli DUTTON Phil wrote: > > Hello Matt, > Make sure that your .bmp is in a known library location with your templates, > and when you insert it into your template file, insert it from that library > location. > If you have it in a 'project' directory for example, and open your design > from the 'recent edits' list, then Protel will not find the .bmp. > Sometimes if you open another design, in a directory that the .bmp is in, > then they will suddenly appear....... > > regards, > Phil. > > Phil Dutton C.I.D. > Senior CAD Technician > IPC Certified Interconnect Designer > > Tenix Defence Pty Ltd > Electronic Systems Division > Second Avenue, Technology Park, > Mawson Lakes.
